@ericmigi@Pebble Thank you for your update!!!!!
I'm excited to see the status moving forward!
I live in the US, but I plan to leave here from the middle of June to the end of June.
Can I apply to join the beta tester?
I am concerned that it may too late.
Quick @Pebble Round 2 update - we’re making progress but not in mass production (MP) yet!
TLDR
- Currently in beta testing (In US? Apply here to join https://t.co/BxJHm75W1z)
- On track to start shipping Pebble Round 2 watches in July
- Current plan is to be finished shipping out all preordered PR2 in September
- Beautiful black or brown leather straps will be available to add
More details
I was in China 2 weeks ago reviewing the latest pre-production samples. I found a cosmetic issue that we needed to fix (an indentation from CNC milling near where the watch lug connects to the watch case - see picture). It was a tough call, because we were so close to starting mass production.
We’re modifying the metal-injection-moulding tooling now to avoid this CNC cut. I really wish we could have started MP sooner, but I guarantee that it will be worth the wait!
I'm developing "Iron", a new Android GPS workout tracking app that you can control directly from your Pebble. To officially release it on Google Play, I need a few more beta testers to complete 14days closed test requirement. I would appreciate your help! (1/3)
